There are also a few words that I have come across which seem indigenous to the Nottingham area.

Nesh; one who feels the cold.

Tabs; ears.

Mardy, or mahdi; in a bad mood.

It was in Nottingham that I first heard the expression "jitty", meaning "path", "Cut-Through", or "back alley". In London, it's just an "alley".

I've never heard "jitty" in Nottingham. What you're describing is a twitchel, surely?

Here's "Evil" Edna. Star of Late Night Poker (Series 1?), one time British Angling Record-Holder for the largest Carp (36lbs, 13 ounces) ever caught by a  Female, and something of a whizz at Ten-Pin Bowling, too. Also known as Never-Pass-Edna, & Limpet Edna, as she's a bugger to get a move past. 

ha, i remember her well from the tribeca days, always thought it was a bloke.

it's "ginnel" in Manchester, had me stumped for a long time.

Also whilst on regional phrases I got called a 'rum jockey' I'm still not sure what the hell that means either?!

Back onto bread rolls for a second.

What are generally referred to as "crumpets" are "pykelets" in Nottingham and maybe in Yorkshire too.

However they are not to be found in Chambers where I was trying to confirm the spelling.

As Kinboshi has shown, pikelets are flatter, thinner crumpets. A bit like a more savoury Scotch pancake.

All varieties of crumpet were referred to as pikelets in Nottingham, even in the baker's shops.

So would you have to distinguish between them when asking for them?

With butter and maple syrup...yes.  Which explains why they're rubbish at soccer maybe.
